Physics students going through the stages of moment of inertia grief! First, you're cool with the simple angular momentum formula. Then you're still hanging in there with the point mass equation. But then BAM! The inertia tensor matrix shows up and suddenly you're staring into the mathematical abyss! That final panel is every physics student's soul leaving their body when they realize rotation in 3D space requires a 3×3 matrix with cross-terms. The progression from "OK" to "WHAT THE F***" is basically the entire physics degree experience compressed into four panels!
